I bought this series when they first came out in paperback. I just loved them, and when I saw that they had come to audible, I couldn't wait till they all were available. This first one sets the stage and introduces the characters to you. The story is good, but you can tell that there is more to come. I don't want to spoil it, but I do love the big cats. I'll take one when they are available. I think they story improves with each book. Of course when they came out in paperback, it was only once a year. Really glad I didn't have to wait that long again.

I read all three of these books when originally published. The seven reading are excellent and I learned more from the audio books than I do from reading. I read way to fast. My only gripe is that all of these readings were in three very fat books ( I like fat books!)There was no need to stretch out the recordings so that it was necessary to buy all seven!
